Trying a different approach to handling life.  Myrrh holds me down for the time being…

I didn’t want to leave my daughter at home to go to school, but… maybe she will understand when she gets older.  I think back about life as it has unfolded thus far a lot.  Some regrets, but I’ve been blessed, no doubt.  Sure beats the near misses that would’ve had life going on a much more destructive path.  So much could have happened…

I just want a simple sort of existence now, especially after the past few days.  No condominium or luxury car, just a safe place for myself and my loved ones to lay their heads at the end of the day and enough sustenance to live another day.

I looked down and
watched your scuffed-and-dirty
trainers
walking
away from me.

I looked up and
watched his etched-in-sunlight
shadow,
waiting
with open arms.
